There are thousands of video guitar lessons on-line, some are marginal and some are terrific. GI PICKS will help to ease the pain of hunting around to find videos worth viewing to learn guitar basics, intermediate and advance techniques.
By doing so, we hope to reduce or eliminate the frustrations we’ve all faced when watching videos and some instructor showing you tuning speeds through the process, skips critical steps along the way of learning to play guitar or congests the video with too much talk.
The TOP GI PICKS videos we promote approach guitar lessons focus on process, are well-paced and smartly presented. I highly recommend that you visit each site in this series and if you find what you like, subscribe!

I did this course and Bob Harris is such a Great teacher of fingerpicking and explains things just perfect.
I have done various songs now with Bob and I truly think he’s the best person to be taught by.
Well done Bob Harris and Thanks for teaching me

Bob Harris is a GREAT teacher. He shows a simple song and an easy-to-play version, and then adds another layer, and then another layer — pretty soon you are able to play a beautiful version of a seemingly simple song. Great teacher. Kinda goofy, but a GREAT teacher.

I agree with John Picton (above) that Bob Harris is the best that I have found on YouTube. His patience combined with his unique approach to teaching is a great help to beginning guitar players.

Bob Harris would have to be the most generous man on the planet.
He gives so much time and has been such a great teacher for me.
I was lost until I found Bob’s lessons. Now I look forward to every lesson he brings to us.

I have been taking lessons for 4 years now ( both private one on one and online ). Bob’ s friendliness and style of teaching is superb. As an example a little while ago he introduced a simple version of Johnny Cash’ s I walk the Line. He started with the bass notes and introduced note by note until voila…we had the song. He is so stong on SLOW-SLOW-SLOW to learn properly ( as an awesome teacher should be ). Next is the same song but introducing singing….cannot wait it.

Bob is the best teacher. This starts at a very basic level but then adds more and more layers. Pretty soon you can sound like you know something about playing the guitar… and it sounds good too. Thank you Bob!

A few weeks ago I start with a guitar. Complete new instrument for me and I searching on youtube to find guitar lessons for beginners. It is just what you commend, a lot of talking and talking and talking. Hopeless. Others teach you some simple thinghs but there is only one lessons availeble. And than I find Bob Harris. He teaching with a straight structure in mind so can follow his lessons very easy and the video shows you in detail how to manage the guitar. Bob is a first class teacher without commercial tricks.
